For spine 1000, they're going to make their first foray into television with the complete series Girls!

At this point everything is possible! But I just refreshed the site and it must be the heat talking but it looked like even Almodovar on the pic made a big sigh.

I'm going to go for a ten minute walk, which I hope for all your sakes triggers the announcement as soon as I step away from the computer.

I really just want the announcements so I can stop seeing the "WHERE ARE THE ANNOUNCEMENTS" posts online. That and an end to the "what will be spine 1000" discussion. Of course this is the one Criterion drags out...lol

They're working extra hard to make the Cluny Brown cover worse still which takes precedents over the announcements.

They are currently filming the movie that will be Spine 1000. We will have to wait till it premieres at Sundance before they announce it.

This could be a wacky idea but it’s currently 7:40am in Tokyo. Could they wait to later in evening to announce so it’s a decent time in there. Say 10pm our time.

Hilarious! The delay! Third time! Probably never happened before, right?

I imagine this has to be coming from Toho who is fairly hands on in regards to Godzilla releases. They made Tokyo Shock pull two DVDs from the market because they included commentaries and supplements they had not signed off on. I imagine Criterion is just quadruple checking to avoid similar headaches.

Way to ruin it for the other releases, Toho

I don’t get why they won’t just announce everything that’s not the Godzilla set though. I do think the 18th, if it even happens then and not Friday (note that their wording doesn’t say they’re coming tomorrow)— either way— will make this the latest announcements have been since the early pre-board days of the label

This better be the announcement of all announcements when they finally drop the bomb. All this build up should not be for nothing. Now I don’t just want Citizen Kane, I want two Citizens Kanes. And please add King Kong and Casablanca too! Thanks.

They're waiting for Planet Hype to deliver all the cane replicas for the Citizen Kane gift sets.
